No one seems to like the Esmond family. "I've never known such a family of selfish, quarrelling, bad-mannered children," says their father. The Pony Club DC isn't a fan. "You don't seem to take any trouble over your riding, or your ponies," he says. "Do your parents make you ride?" They don't. The Esmonds love riding. They love their ponies, but somehow it's all gone wrong. They were nicer people when they didn't have much money, thinks Lewis, the oldest of the family. Now they have everything they ever wanted but it doesn't seem to have helped their characters. Surely it's not that hard not to quarrel? To put some effort into their riding? There are five Esmonds, and there are five different points of view on how they're going to improve. But somehow, despite icy accidents, flood, blizzards and some very bad riding, improve they do.

All the other children who knew her thought Maggie a wonderfully fortunate little girl. She was sometimes spoken about as the "Little Princess of Tower Hill," for Tower Hill was the name of her father\'s place, and Maggie was his only child. The children in the village close by spoke of her with great respect, and looked at her with a good deal of longing and also no slight degree of envy, for while they had to run about in darned and shabby frocks, Maggie could wear the gayest and daintiest little dresses, and while they had to trudge sometimes even on little bare feet, Maggie could sit by her mother\'s side and be carried rapidly over the ground in a most delicious and luxurious carriage, or, better still, she might ride on her white pony Snowball, followed by a groom. The poor children envied Maggie, and admired her vastly, and the children of those people who, compared to Sir John Ascot, Maggie\'s father, might be considered neither rich nor poor, also thought her one of the most fortunate little girls in existence. Mag-gie was nearly eight years old, and from her very earliest days there had been a great fuss made about her. At the time of her birth bonfires had been lit, and oxen killed and roasted whole to be given away to the poor people, and Sir John and Lady Ascot did not seem at all disappointed at their baby being a girl instead of a son and heir to the old title and the fine old place. There was a most extraordinary fuss made over Maggie while she was a baby; her mother was never tired of visiting her grand nurseries and watching her as she lay asleep, or smiling at her and kissing her when she opened her big, bright blue eyes.
